After the challenge...

I'm feeling so GREAT!  Even with the weather being icky out.  My allergies have been flaring... I've had a lot of reasons to not feel so great.  Today (day2 after challenge) I'm feeling a bit maybe out of it? Not sure a good way to put it, I'm really feeling like that seasonal depression is sneaking up on me.

So what am I going to do to kick it in the butt?  I started another Herbal Cleanse today.  So far my Spark (a morning must have) and Peaches Fiber drink has been drank.

This is TOTALLY AGAINST what the recommendations are!  I will NOT advise anyone to do this.  I'm doing this because I am a smoker.  I've been a smoker for 21 years.  I spoke with someone in both the medical field and AdvoCare (not on the S&MA board).  There have been reports of doing a cleanse back to back will help you quit smoking as it does flush toxins out.  Previously on the cleanse I did almost quit.  I probably would have if my husband wouldn't have come home.  He is also a smoker.  Being that his job will keep him away from home for at least 6 weeks (from what we know right now) but could be longer, it is the perfect time to do this and QUIT for good!    I was going to wait to do this until the 1st of May but you know what?!  My health is more important right now and I need to do this.  I think it is part of that depression that is sneaking up on me, I've been down on myself for not quitting.  When I get back on the MNS I'm going to do the C.  My carb ease should be here soon too.

Love the photo from day 23. Glad you put the disclaimer in there as I've also had people ask if they could do back 2 back & I've said no the recommendations are 90-120 days in between. I hope it will work & i'm sure you'll feel much better quitting. That carb ease should help. Have you ever been on "C" before? It's been working extremely well for me. Once I get down to 125 I'll be switching over to "e" just to try it. Or back to the "3"

No I've only been on E. I need to try C as I need more appetite control. Just don't think of it when I'm ordering. lol

This time I did measure myself the "proper" 24 day challenge way. LOL I wrote them down with my weight from the other day. We'll see how this one goes... poor Branden LOL

I've actually been "forgetting" about eating until it's MY idea & not my stomach's on the "C" it works well... almost TOO well. Which is why I have only used Leptilean® on extreme temptation excursions.
"3" was good. with being on the "c" I also add a calcium, Amplify AT & 1 extra fish oil. All of those are not in the "e" or "c" MNS packets.
